Let's Talk Suicide

Let's gather as a group and explore aspects around suicide. Have you been affected by suicide? Have you had or currently have thoughts of suicide? Has someone in your life told you about their suicidal thoughts? Have you been uncertain of how to respond to someone who is in the midst of suicidal thinking? Are you curious to learn more about suicide? Let's come together and talk with one another about suicide. It's often hard to talk about suicide because it makes us uncomfortable. This is a group to sit in the uncomfort and learn from one another how we can better support people, or ourselves, who live with suicidal ideation. In this one day workshop we will begin with prayer and creating a safe space to be grounded in our faith as we engage with topics of suicide. We will explore different aspects of suicide and how we, as a faith community, can be engage around suicide. As time allows we will create something to bring to the youth in our community to engage them on the topic of suicide and offer them support. Meeting on Saturday, May 5, from 12:30 to 4:30pm in the Heritage Room. All are welcome. Lead by Heidi Lindeman.
